Digi Makeover
Virtual Makeover Kit with Special Effects
Link: Radica Games
A virtual makeover kit for girls, the Digi Makeover has an interactive touch pad and a digital camera which plug directly into the TV via RCA jacks. It has loads of special effects for clothes, accessories, jewellery, hairstyles and makeup, to add to a girl's digital image taken by the camera, while watching the result on TV. Images with special effects can be saved. It also allows girls to pose with their friends in Photo Booth mode.
Advertising Scams
Joe La Rosa remembers fondly an ad from the late 70s or early 80s about some dolled up rabbit ear TV antenna which was supposed to "pull signals right out of the air" - "You don't get cable because you're not paying for cable!" Sadly, Joe's father fell for it. Dick doesn't have it in his warehouse, but he still has the AC plug which "makes all the wiring in your house into one gigantic TV antenna!"
In due course, Dick would introduce this antenna - the GFX-100 indoor antenna - in Episode 670.

SeeEye2Eye
Eye Contact Enabling Device for Video Chat/Teleprompter
Link: Bodelin
SeeEye2Eye enables direct eye contact with the person you are chatting with in a video chat or conference. It is placed over your own webcam, and a set of mirrors reflect the video image of your friend from your screen on to a beam-splitting glass which sits in front of the webcam, which you can see. The beam splitter, while showing the video image of your friend, at the same time allows light rays of your own image through to be captured by your webcam. With extra software, SeeEye2Eye can also be used as a teleprompter.
